Man that sucks, how far away from ChiTown do you live?

Satellite is broadband so if you can access that where you live then broadband is accessable.

yes but the problem with satelite is you may run into lag and latency problem b/c it has to go through a satelite. So keep that in mind.

Satellite gaming is like watching a slideshow. Your beautiful 60fps game is suddenly 25-30 fps.

yes yessss it's not that it doesnt transfer large enough the pipe is wide enough but it is very very long if that makes any sense =)

and for uploading with satellite u need to dial in with your regular modem :eek:

Sattellite is waaay to slow and waaaay too expensive. Every system I looked at had a startup of at least $500!

actually, i've seen satelite that allows upload and download without having to use the dialup modem.

Well, thanks for the info, but not exactlly the info i was hoping for. Damn.

Do i dare say we may have to wait to go LIVE....:mad:

A Satelite connection is not a good one for online gaming. The download speeds are acceptable, but uploading (sending info as opposed to recieving) is terribly slow.

I don't want to pee on anyones parade, but I think that sat BB is not going to supported for Xbox LIVE....for those reasons. Hopefully I'm wrong....
